Is Gino Manzares riding in Sweden again this year? Wasn't he wanting a GB spot last season? Could be a possible signing.

It's possible he improved racing in Sweden, but he struggled to average 4 when last over here with Scunthorpe, looks a weak signing with 6+ available imo

His average would probably fit, around 5.5 I think , but I thought I'd read somewhere that he was only doing kings Lynn and Poland, to me it's another British youngster that's hanging on to try and make it in Poland rather than put the miles and effort doing 2 leagues in the UK.

He had a decent season in Poland last year.Can travel to Poland by air quicker than getting Worky by road I would imagine.

Andrew Rowe would be 5.80, all in. The best option if they're not signing Claus.

Imo a better option than claus and British,  but would he be willing to travel to deepest Cumbria from wherever he is based,  think Suffolk but cud be wrong

Is that a bad thing?

Cud be if your not scoring well at Kings Lynn and Poland your confidence is down, then you don't have the easier ? league to gain confidence again, we all know Poland will drop you like a ton of bricks if you don't perform

Surprised to see Celina in the Peter Craven Memorial at Belle Vue, that could be a baptism of fire for the start of her British league career

Why ? From watching videos and seeing her at worky she likes big fast tracks, had similar times at both Redcar and worky to the main meetings, this on borrowed bikes, also good PR for belle Vue, Cellina snd speedway in general. Let's enjoy the journey UTC

She rode at Belle Vue last summer.

Any extra meetings she can get can only be beneficial to her and to the Comets, surely ?

Yeah Kyle Howarth was there riding, looked to be a lot of vans down there

Kyle Howarth doing the Ben Fund meeting too, he said so himself on the Humans of Speedway podcast.
Don’t think they’ve announced that yet though

Yes true but she will probably struggle against the expected field likely to take part. 

Maybe she will, but it's extra time on the bike, so, therefore, helping with set-up and everything that goes with it.

There's no doubt its for publicity but the majority of the up and coming Brits would struggle to score points in the field that's been assembled so far. And a good few of those are hitting above a 4 point assessed average in the Championship. 

Someone's got to come last, if it helps get more exposure, then great!
